Connection Configuration
Run Inlet FIPT
The first female threaded opening accepts a compatible male-threaded pipe, nipple, fitting, valve, or equipment connection.
Branch FIPT
The center female threaded opening creates a 90-degree branch connection for a compatible male-threaded component.
Run Outlet FIPT
The opposite female threaded opening continues the main piping run using a compatible male-threaded connection.
Construction Details
The tee is manufactured from high-quality Schedule 80 PVC, providing increased wall thickness and dependable durability for compatible pressure piping applications.
Precision-molded female threads on all three openings provide mechanical connections to compatible male-threaded piping components without requiring solvent cement at the tee itself.
The all-threaded configuration makes this fitting useful where branch piping, valves, instruments, or equipment may need to be connected or serviced using threaded components.
Why Choose an All-FIPT Schedule 80 Tee?

Threaded Installation
Verify all three nominal thread sizes before installation and confirm compatibility with the intended male-threaded components.
Use an appropriate thread-sealing method compatible with PVC and the intended application. Start each threaded connection by hand to help prevent cross-threading.
Tighten only as required to obtain a secure, leak-resistant connection. Excessive tightening can place unnecessary stress on PVC female threads and may damage the fitting body.
Confirm branch orientation, system alignment, pressure requirements, temperature requirements, and chemical compatibility before placing the piping system into service.
Our piping specialists can help review your thread sizes, mating components, pressure requirements, chemical compatibility, and installation needs before you order.

What is a Schedule 80 PVC FIPT x FIPT x FIPT tee used for?
It is used to create a 90-degree branch connection in a compatible pressure piping system using male-threaded components on all three connections.
What does FIPT mean?
FIPT means Female Iron Pipe Thread. Each opening contains internal threads designed to accept a compatible male pipe thread.
Does this fitting require solvent cement?
No. This version uses threaded connections on all three openings rather than solvent-weld socket connections.
What can connect to this tee?
Compatible male-threaded pipe, nipples, fittings, valves, gauges, instruments, or equipment connections may be used where appropriate for the system.
Should Schedule 80 PVC female threads be overtightened?
No. Excessive tightening can stress or damage PVC threads and the fitting body. Connections should be started by hand and tightened only as required.
Can this fitting be used for drinking water systems?
The supplied product information identifies NSF/ANSI 61 certification for drinking water system components.
What does NSF/ANSI 14 cover?
NSF/ANSI 14 applies to plastic piping system components and related materials.
What ASTM standards are referenced?
The supplied information references ASTM D1784 and ASTM F1970.
What CSA standard is referenced?
The supplied information references CSA B137.3 for rigid PVC pipe and fittings used in pressure applications.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm all three nominal thread sizes, mating male-threaded components, branch orientation, pressure requirements, temperature requirements, and chemical compatibility.
